### 1/5 — ค้าง

*2025-03-19, version 1.6*

ชำระเงินแล้ว ค้างครับเข้าไม่ได้

### 5/5 — I want to correct the translation that was wrong.

*2025-01-21, version 1.6*

อยากให้แก้ไขคำแปลได้ เพราะแปลผิดเยอะมากๆ เเละN1 เปิดไม่ได้แอปปเด้งตลอดค่ะ

### 5/5 — BUG

*2025-01-13, version 1.6*

When i tried to open the N1 version, the app suddenly closed. Please fix it🙏

### 2/5 — คำศัพท์กลุ่มครอบครัว

*2024-11-21, version 1.6*

แปลคำว่าพี่สาว กับพี่ชายผิด

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2024-11-10*

You need to watch 2 ads before you learn any words. Even tapping the “Rate us” makes you watch an ad. The app tortures you with ads until you pay. How about a trial first? 30 minutes would be nice.

For every 1 minute of learning, you get 5 minutes of ads. It’s way too much.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2024-11-02, version 1.6*

I had to pay for N1 already but can’t read.it shut down!

### 4/5 — Minesnya Perlanganan saya tida di Ss Pdahal uda saya Bayar. 89 Ribu🥲

*2024-10-01, version 1.6*

Kecewa

### 3/5 — Can’t use N1 and Favourite Book

*2024-06-11, version 1.6*

When I pressed on JLPT N1 and Favourite book, the app shut down immediately. Kindly fix this problem as soon as possible!!!

### 1/5 — Poor

*2024-03-18, version 1.6*

Has potential but in its current form it’s hopeless. 

Infested with ads, banner constantly present and also pop ups which  feels like every ten seconds an ad pops up and they are the annoying type which obscure the exit button….

There is no way to identify progress in this app, there is a percentage icon next to each section but it never raises regardless if you’ve looked at the materials or take the tests etc etc so it’s impossible to know what you have or haven’t done.

The tests it gives you make it easy even if you don’t know the answer as it’s multiple choice with 4 selections, 3 of which are so obviously unrelated you can basically guess all 50 questions in the test and get a perfect score which completely defeats the purpose of a test/exam.

In the exam, it auto proceeds after selecting an answer despite having a next button…. In other words you can’t change your mind, hit the wrong thing by mistake, then tough….. poor design

Some of the meanings/answers are not quite right, as if they have been auto added from a dictionary instead of assigning the most relevant meaning which is going to harm more than help for beginners.

In its current form I would avoid this one.

### 3/5 — Any entries in N1 will crash the app

*2024-03-15*

Otherwise the app is fine. The content is from a book series called Essential Vocabulary for JLPT and is of good quality.
